The Oath

I give basic respect to all, and I respect those who serve their communities.

I stand for honor when others choose convenience.

I stand for duty to my family, my brothers, and my community.

I stand for service.

I support democratic statehood and work to fix corruption where I live.

I debate openly and peacefully — but I will not be intimidated.

I defend myself, my family, and my community when threatened.

I earn trust, I build skills, I stay aware, and I never stop learning.

I raise better men than I was.

I build a legacy that outlives me.

I carry the frontier forward.
